Unlocking Astrologian

You unlock Astrologian after defeating Norzen in Al-Khampis in chapter 1.

Equipment Guide

Astrologian has S rank in Rods and A rank in Staves.

Armor

Use light armor that increases magic attack and defense.

Equip a shield in your off-hand if you want more defense.

Accessories that increase INT, MND, or MP are useful.

Weapons

Rods are the best choice if you want to add magic attack, or have a sub job that deals with attack magic.

Staves are a good choice if you plan to have another support or healing sub job, such as Bishop or White Mage.

Ability List

The specialty for Astrologian is Prescience.

Prescience - Spells and abilities augmenting status or granting supportive properties will take effect at the beginning of each turn.

Level 11

Status Barrier - Protect the target from all status ailments for 4 turns.

Cross Job Tips

Wizard is the most important. You need their spellcraft support ability to add the extra effects, mostly Blast, to your spells. This lets you add your support buffs to everyone in the party.

Attack magic Jobs such as Black Mage or Summoner if you want to deal damage when you aren't buffing your team.

Healing magic Jobs such as White Mage or Bishop if you want to heal when you aren't buffing your team.

Combat Tips

Prescience makes Astrologian the ideal magic support Job, even if you aren't selecting it as your main Job. You will want to use whichever support spells you want as soon as you can, since they activate at the start of the turn.

They have a decent INT and MND and can use Rods or Staves well, so it is a good idea to pick this as your main Job if you plan to use it all. The reason being that you won't have to use up 2 slots for their support ability.

You will want to save at least 1 extra BP whenever you can so you can add the Blast spellcraft effect to your spells. Adding your effects to all party members really helps, and lets you use certain spells on multiple people that you wouldn't be able to usually.
